Kamala Harris tries to distance herself from Biden in yet another policy flip-flop: ‘Everything about her campaign is fake’
NY Post ^ | 8/14/24 | Josh Christenson

Vice President Kamala Harris is furiously trying to “distance” herself from President Biden’s record — while also disavowing the far-left policies she heartily embraced just a few years ago.

The result is a campaign run entirely on style over substance since Harris took the Democratic mantle from Biden last month.

And Democratic campaign operatives warn that she risks voters catching on — and realizing she’s selling only cynical political opportunism.

“It’s a marketing strategy that is TV-esque,” one senior Democratic aide said. “With such a short timeline now, policy matters less than personality.

“She’s going to almost exclusively look at a voter like a consumer — and sell, sell, sell!” the aide quipped.

“Do I think that’s a long-term strategy? No,” the aide admitted. “But I think the plan is win and figure it out.”

Another Democratic campaign operative told The Post Wednesday that Harris was wisely trying to break with Biden’s economic policies due to his “horrible” polling numbers — and is prepared to jettison any of their administration’s talking points that don’t have “strong” public support.

The plan is to win and then figure it out. She’s a moron, she doesn’t have the brains. Whoever put her in the nomination chair will be doing the ‘figuring.’

It is sad that a large percentage of voters are style over substance type of people.

I hope we have not DEI’d and dumbed down the electorate so much that we would lose this election.

... and, by extension, the United States of America’s “fundamental change” becomes reality.

“I hope we have not DEI’d and dumbed down the electorate so much that we would lose this election.”

Since 1988, the Republican candidate for POTUS has only won the popular vote once, in 2004. The American people are speaking very consistently. Only the Electoral College made George W. Bush president in 2000 and Trump president in 2016. The population as a whole has been socialist since the 1990’s.

You will have to elect me to find out what kind of President I'll be.

Kamala has no real experience as a candidate on the national stage and has never been properly vetted.

Just a guess, but she is the candidate only because of an agreement she demanded of Schumer, Pelosi, and Obama when they threatened Biden to resign or face the invocation of the 25th Amendment. The VP must be part of the group that invokes the 25th or it cannot go forward. So without Kamala, there could be no 25th Amendment threat to Biden...and he would still be the doddering old fool of a candidate for 2024.

The Democrat Party replaced one fool with another and is probably working diligently behind the scenes to develop of plan B in case Kamala bombs.

In politics and economics, a Potemkin village is a construction (literal or figurative) whose purpose is to provide an external façade to a situation, to make people believe that the situation is better than it actually is. The term comes from stories of a fake portable village built by Grigory Potemkin, a field marshal and former lover of Empress Catherine II, solely to impress the Empress during her journey to Crimea in 1787.

Harris is the Potemkin candidate.

I have a strange feeling she isn’t going to make it through the convention as the nominee.

Golly, Harris is busy:
<><>she’s furiously trying to “distance” herself from policies she partnered with Biden
<><>she’s frantically disavowing far-left strategies she once heartily embraced
<><>she’s run amok disavowing her running mate’s checkered past,
<><>she’s at her wit’s end keeping her lady killer hubby out of no-tell motels
<><>she’s going ballistic as her need for voter fraud skyrockets.

A Democratic campaign operative said? Am I reading that right?

This is a first.....it’s so rare for a Democrat to actually utter the truth.


The Democrat told The NY Post Wednesday that Harris was wisely trying to break with Biden’s economic policies due to his “horrible” polling numbers — and is prepared to jettison any of their administration’s talking points that don’t have “strong” public support.

If they can’t beat Trump fair and square, they plan to throw him jail.

Remember the Nixon Shock price controls. Harris plans the same thing.
